Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

I have recently got 6 silkie hatching eggs... I have borrowed an incubator from a friend. It’s the Brinsea Octagon 20 DX.

There are 3 different readings coming up on the digital gauge... is this right?! I don’t know which one to go by as all 3 are different.

User manual and videos are here for that bator

Welcome!
I use a Brinsea incubator - a different model to yours but I'm happy to talk incubation settings

Two of the settings you are seeing will be as follows:

T*37.5C or T*98.0F = This is your current temperature reading
(C = Centigrade F = Fahrenheit)
H 45% = This is your current humidity reading

If you are able to tell me what the other reading is you're seeing then I'm happy to provide further advice

Thanks so much, the other reading is a minus figure of 23?! I just don’t get what that could be?

Are you able to take a picture of the display for us?

That other number - I'm wondering if it is an auto count down to hatch day? It might also be a minutes count down until the cradle turns. Does the number change? And if so - how frequently?
